Chapter 1211
There was a sound of a child's footsteps at the top of the stairs, followed by Nicole's voice. "Daddy! You're back!"
Nicole went downstairs very cheerfully. "Daddy, why didn't you come home last night? I've been waiting for you because I wanted to say good night to you, but I fell asleep while waiting..." Her words stopped abruptly when she saw Gale.
Nicole looked at Gale intently, without blinking, and a strange yet familiar expression came over her.
"Nicole..."
Gale wanted to ask her what was wrong.
It was just that Gale already knew why Nicole looked at her like this and stopped short of asking!
It was because she did not have makeup on!
She looked like the mistress now!
Oops!
Gale panicked and wanted to cover her face, but it was too late.
Nicole had seen her!
She could see it clearly in her expression!
Gale immediately turned her back!
Shawn reacted quickly, took a big step, and stepped forward to block her from behind.
"Nicole, Daddy was busy last night and didn't come back in time. I'm sorry," he said very calmly.
Since having a daughter, no matter how busy or tired Shawn was, he would try his best to say goodnight to Nicole in person before she slept.
If he could not make it back in time, he would also do a video call. Last night... he was really too busy, he forgot.
Shawn also tried to divert Nicole's attention by changing the topic.
However, it was useless.
"Daddy, get out of the way," Nicole said.
"Nicole..."
Nicole stood there quietly, her small body motionless.
It looked distressing.
She did not cry or make a fuss but asked softly, "Daddy, why did your keep that woman behind you? I've already seen her. I know her, know who she is."
Shawn pursed his lips deeply, "Do you really... really know who she is?"
"She's the mistress."
Nicole's voice was very clear, echoing in the huge living room.
It even echoed in Gale's heart like a heavy blow!
No, she was not!
"Nicole, you still don't know... who she is."
The spell was still strong.
Nicole's cognition was still confused, and she still had not regained herself.
Now, unintentionally, she and Gale met again...
It was chaos.
"Daddy, although I'm young, I'm not stupid. Why did you lie to me?" Nicole said.
"Lie to you?"
Nicole came over, stood in front of Shawn, and looked up at him.
"You promised me that you will live a good life with Mommy, you will never see this woman again. You will only love Mommy... But why are you together with her again?"
"Last night, Daddy, were you really busy work? Or did you actually date with her? You guys had
go on with
so much fun that you didn't even
want to go home?" Content belongs
Nicole kept her head up all the time, speaking at a calm pace and asking questions in an orderly manner.
"If Mommy finds out, how sad she will be..."
"She's not at home, so you're messing with this woman again. You've betrayed her. How can you be worthy of Mommy?"
"Daddy, you're lying to me. I hate cheating the most. I'm going to start hating you too."
Shawn looked deeply at the little girl in front of him, and for a moment, words escaped him.
"Nicole, listen to my explanation." He squatted down, reaching out to hug her.
